Explore how familiar products, services and environments are designed by people

Elaborations

• identifying how First Nations Australians have long designed and produced domestic items including clothing, tools and shelter, for example the Lamalama Peoples of the eastern Cape York Peninsula weave the reddish coloured fibres from Acacia latifolia alternately with white coloured fibres from Brachychiton diversifolium to produce a striped woven bag
• exploring how local delivery services meet different needs of people, for example describing how gift packages can be sent to and from people who live in different locations and how online shopping items arrive at a person’s home
• exploring how an environment such as a local playground may have shade structures to protect users and be designed to allow access for all
• describing how community gardens, public swimming pools and parks are designed to help people stay healthy
• asking questions about the design of products from the local store, for example why certain packaging materials might have been selected, and how people design the text and images on the packaging to attract people’s attention

The poem follows a young girl who struggles to express herself calmly, often shouting when she feels frustrated or unheard. Through her journey, she learns to recognise and understand her emotions (AC9HPFP03, AC9HP2P03 – Foundation to Year 2, Health and Physical Education) and works to develop positive strategies for expressing her thoughts and feelings in respectful ways (AC9HPFP02, AC9HP2P02 – Foundation to Year 2, Health and Physical Education).

The story also encourages children to explore characters’ perspectives and emotional responses, fostering empathy (AC9HP2P01 – Health and Physical Education, Years 1 and 2). It helps them define safe and unsafe environments through interactions with friends in a classroom, establishing help-seeking strategies in such situations (AC9HP2P05 – Health and Physical Education, Years 1 and 2). Additionally, the book highlights how environments, such as a calm corner or designated green boxes, can be designed to support emotional regulation and meet classroom needs (AC9TDEFK01, AC9TDE2K01 – Foundation to Year 2, Design and Technologies).

With its poetic language and engaging illustrations, The Shouting Girl helps students understand how rhyme and rhythm create cohesion in poems. It also explores how words and images shape settings and characters, along with other literary features such as lists of three and similes.
